lol having an integrated pump and block really simplifies things, so if you ever do actually get a loop, try getting an apogee drive! they don't have bad performance (although you won't be running dual rad loops probably...) and they clear up the lines!

its a Apogee Drive GT block which is touted as one of the best bang for buck blocks... so its not the best, but it does have good performance for the price! and in this case... the price is spectacular since you get a pump with it too!

well I'm not exactly sure when the competition will end... hopefully by the end of this week because there are only 6 entries... you can check for updates yourself if you want. The competition is on the modshop.net (Gamer's Challenge)

It's a good set up. I have the Apogee/MCR220 on my E8400 clocked at 3.8ghz and temps are never over 60c under load. This rig is on 24/7 and feeds 2-8800GS's and one SMP Client for F@H. Remember, thats both cores @ 100% 24/7 and never over 60c.
